Big news for West Coast rap lovers – ALLBLACK is back with a short and sweet new album this weekend. Born To Score arrived on Friday (February 24), and while the features list is certainly noteworthy, it's got several solo efforts from the lyricist that will only make fans love him more. Prior to the project's arrival,sin he shared "Literally," as well as "Pelicans" featuring Curren$y.

Born To Score's other singles include "3rd Quarter" featuring Cash Kidd, "Endzone" with Jay Worthy, and "Burpees" alongside DUSTY LOCANE. The album's other two features come from Bfb Da Packman and BabyTron on "AB Mode" and "Chaka Khan" respectively. Along with his work, ALLBLACK shared a music video for the latter that fans have been loving.

What audiences will love about the new project is the way it highlights the artist's undeniably authentic ability and relatable storytelling skills. He takes notes from those who have come before him and keeps an open mind while working alongside other lyricists to help create unique sounds.

This marks the Oakland native's first full-length release since 2021's TY4FWM. On that, he delivered 14 songs, including popular titles like "10 Toes" with G-Eazy and E-40, as well as "We Straight" in tandem with Vince Staples and Cal-A. Others who appear on the album include Mozzy, P-Lo, Rexx Life Raj, and Sada Baby.

ALLBLACK's career began taking off back in 2017 with the arrival of works like No Shame 2 and KimSon. The next year he gave us Outcalls featuring Offset Jim, Shoreline Mafia, and 03 Greedo, followed by 2 Minute Drills with Kenny Beats. 2019 heard the debut of 22nd Ways, a collab album with 22nd Jim, and in 2020, he continued his No Shame series with a third installment.
